I would be brave, for there is much to dareg I would be friend of all- the foe the friendless. I would be giving, and forget my giftg I would be humble, for I know my weaknessg I would look up, and love and laugh and lift. The Girl Reserves are made up of girls in the grade, Junior and High Schools.
